Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Verify fuel-pump recall completion and fuel-line inspection records.
- Confirm steering-assist recall completion and ask about intermittent heavy steering.
- Review power-train and electrical diagnostic or repair records.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Cadillac dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
